PRESIDENT Mnangagwa will not hold a Zanu-
PF star rally in Matabeleland South
tomorrow as earlier announced.
Zanu-PF national spokesperson Cde Simon
Khaya Moyo yesterday said the Matabeleland
South rally would be held at a date to be
advised.
He made the clarification following media
reports claiming that the President would
visit Matabeleland South tomorrow to
monitor projects and hold a star rally.
“The National Political Commissar
Lieutenant-General Engelbert Rugeje
(Retired), advises that the media reports
stating that His Excellency, the President and
First Secretary of Zanu-PF Cde ED
Mnangagwa, will be visiting projects and
addressing rallies in Matabeleland South
Province this weekend (Saturday) are
misplaced,” said Cde Khaya Moyo.
“The said visit to Matabeleland South
Province will be advised at a later date.”
Cde Khaya Moyo said Zanu-PF had set its
sights on resoundingly winning the
harmonised elections.
He said for the party to achieve its goals,
party members should start mobilising votes
for Zanu-PF.
“Campaigns for the President and Zanu-PF
candidates for the coming harmonised
elections to be held on 30 July 2018 must be
in full swing from now onwards, as Zanu-PF
must win resoundingly like it did in 2013,”
said Cde Khaya Moyo.
“Unity and peace are the watch words.
Forward to total victory.”
Zanu-PF on Tuesday and Wednesday this
week held a healing and reconciliation
workshop for the party’s winning and losing
candidates in Harare.
During the workshop, President Mnangagwa
urged Zanu-PF members to work towards
delivering an election victory for the party.
In an interview, Matabeleland North
provincial chairman Cde Richard Moyo said
the workshop was crucial for party
supporters as the primary elections had left
Zanu-PF divided.
Cde Moyo, who is the party’s candidate for
Umguza Constituency, said provinces were
set to hold Provincial Co-ordinating
Committee meetings to relay the President’s
message to grassroots supporters.
“We learnt a lot through the workshop,” he
said.
“It was important for the party as we
prepare to campaign for the party. It made us
understand that we have to put the party
first in all our programmes and our personal
interests later.”
Matabeleland North provincial chairman Cde
Rabelani Choeni, who lost the Beitbridge
Senatorial seat primaries, said the workshop
paid dividends as the party prepare for the
elections.
He said members would be more united
while campaigning for the party – State media.
